Well this was interesting

Yup. Twin towers and all. It's funny that back in the day the plots always revolved around nuking or blowing up New York. When New York was finally attacked, those kinds of stories seemed to fade away.

This is just terrible. It had been so long since we've had a terrorist attack at home I kinda hoped it wouldn't happen again. If it was a domestic homegrown act then that's one thing. But if it was another attack by a foreign terrorist cell well, things are gonna get real serious. It doesn't seem like it's safe to do anything these days.

Now this is interesting! Was browsing some blu-ray screencaps of TNG and found this from the episode Up the Long Ladder:

Check out the mission of the HMS New Zealand. Gotta love Star Wars references in Star Trek!

Actually there are. On the memory alpha page for Encounter at Farpoint:

On close inspection, the drug dispensers that Q and his fellow soldiers from World War III wear as part of their uniforms are labeled "Army R2D3PO-D", a reference to the Star Wars 'droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.

And then there's this:
